The most toxic #religious #invention of all time is the doctrine of delayed #Reprisal.
It allows #evil to thrive in the here and now and mollifies reprisal against evil in real time. For example, #JoelOsteen is the devil incarnate swindling thousands in real time while preaching the #ProsperityGospel. He needs to be tarred, feathered, and put in stocks where people can throw putrice upon his head.
But, the “faithful” would respond, oh, he’ll get his at #judgment. Yeah, right. He’s getting his, while taking yours, right now.
The doctrine of delayed reprisal is a religious #con that insulates #corrupt #power from immediate #consequence.
